The Producer by Stefanie Kilts

'Coming into the Marlboro world as a woman wrangler was not easy.'- Cici Kinney, Marlboro producer

Cici Kinney learned the ropes, literally, from the very bottom as a wrangler on the Marlboro shoots to working side-by-side with photographer Norm Clasen and handling all types of production duties on set. She worked extensively on finding the authentic ranches Marlboro shot on, lining up horses and other key elements needed in the shots, catering, and even went on the road for two years to find a new Marlboro cowboy.

Kinney worked as a production manager on the Marlboro shoots for 25 years and was even cast once as a “Marlboro Woman.”
